I got myself this Tasscam US-122 MKII audio interface and Cubase LE5 bundled. As I was testing it I was able to record both audio & VST, but can't hear no sound, just the click. There's no sound when recording, no sound in playback. I can just see what I recorded.

In VST connections, Tascam is selected as Audio Device (both IN & OUT). OS is Windows 7 if that matters.

The external soundcard may not be chosen before the Realtek crap inside the computer. The volume of your earphones is 0? You plugged the earphones in the mic - entrance? You have the wrong kbps and your computer is too slow? As guru Madashavi once said: "Even the smallest flower falls into the shadow - and gets crushed by the lawnmower"
